FAQ · 79521
Common questions
Who is my electric utility in ZIP 79521?
Big Country Electric Cooperative typically serves Haskell / 79521. BCEC members generally cannot shop REPs. Outages: 855-940-3872 (Roby 325-776-2244; Snyder 325-573-3161; Stamford 325-773-3684). Rare Oncor/AEP fringe—verify ESI ID.
Who do I call when the power goes out?
Call Big Country EC at 855-940-3872 or your local BCEC office. If your bill shows Oncor, call 888-313-4747; AEP North 866-223-8508. Downed line: 911 + electric provider.
How do I start water service when I move into 79521?
Provider varies by street in Haskell / 79521 (small city, WSC, special district, or well). Top-level phones are blank on purpose—check your lease, prior bill, city hall, or TCEQ drinking-water lookup. Do not assume Sweetwater, Snyder, Merkel, Colorado City, Clyde, Winters, Anson, or Stamford service outside those footprints.
Who handles trash pickup in 79521?
City contract vs private hauler is address-dependent. Confirm with city hall, HOA, or landlord. Multifamily properties often use private haulers.
Who provides natural gas, and what if I smell gas?
Piped gas is not confirmed for every 79521 address—many rural west-central homes use propane. Where Atmos Mid-Tex serves, start 888-286-6700; leak 866-322-8667. Suspected leak: leave immediately, then call 911 and your gas provider from a safe place.
Is electricity regulated or competitive here?
BCEC is a member-owned cooperative—members generally cannot shop REPs on Power to Choose. Oncor/AEP parcels (if any) are competitive. Match your bill before enrolling.
Does Haskell use Houston or Dallas 311?
No—west-central Texas / Abilene–Sweetwater–Snyder communities do not use Houston 311 or Dallas 311. Use the local utility/city contacts in this packet. Life-threatening emergencies still dial 911.
Which internet providers serve 79521?
Common options include AT&T, Spectrum, Suddenlink/Optimum (where footprint exists), Frontier, and local WISPs; availability thins in rural Fisher/Haskell/Kent/Stonewall/Knox areas. Use each provider’s checker with your full street address. This packet does not guarantee service at every unit.
How do I tell Big Country EC from Oncor or AEP?
Look at your electric bill logo/payee. BCEC bills are from Big Country Electric Cooperative (no REP shopping). Oncor/AEP delivery bills show the TDU with a separate REP. Outage: BCEC 855-940-3872 vs Oncor 888-313-4747 vs AEP 866-223-8508.
